So many self-published books suffer from this, things even a minimally attentive proofreader would catch. And if the author doesn’t care, I don’t see why I should. I’m finishing up a book from KU which irritated on the level of “it’s” for “its”, from an author who claims to teach English and have a doctorate (so much for American education), when I came across a reference to “Shirly McClain”. I’ll finish the book as I’m so close to the end, but I grudge each additional page as I know it’s lining the author’s undeserving pockets.
